Roses (Explicit)

Lyrics by：Lauren Mayberry

Composed by：Iain Cook/Martin Doherty/Jonny Scott

On the edge of a city in a slow dive

Or so say you so say you

Crosshairs in the centre of a skyline

Waiting for the right time

Freezing up like a rabbit in the headlights

Oh what to do? What to do?

I don't think I can see it as a good sign

If all of it repeats and rhymes

Ring-a-ring-a roses

Oh we all fall to the ground

Every circle closes

For a penny for a pound

All these things for God and for king

We all keep going 'round

Ring-a-ring-a roses

Oh we all fall to the ground

Line them up take aim who you gonna blame?

Imagine that oh imagine that

Shit-scared of the horrors in your own brain

Swimming pools of acid rain

Fill a glass with delusions of the good days

Of blood and wine of pearls for swine

Never sure if you're paranoid or entertained

Weighing up the pain and gain

Oh don't you feel ashamed?

Ring-a-ring-a roses

Oh we all fall to the ground

Every circle closes

For a penny for a pound

All these things for God and for king

We all keep going 'round

Ring-a-ring-a roses

Oh we all fall to the ground

A woman is a woman even if you want her dead

Siphoning the bodies as a way to get ahead

Finding hidden meaning inside everything you read

Driving yourself crazy over who is in whose bed

Stiff upper lip shooting from the hip

Running like a rat afraid of sinking with the ship

Are you being fed? Are you ready yet?

Doesn't fucking matter on your marks get set

Ring-a-ring-a roses

Oh we all fall to the ground

Every circle closes

For a penny for a pound

All these things for God and for king

We all keep going 'round

Ring-a-ring-a roses

Oh we all fall to the ground

Here lies the legacy

The body the head and the heart

And if I may command your undivided attention

Now we can start start start start

Start start
